Praise Him with timbrel and dancing;This talks about the many ways to praise God. The main ones appear to be the instruments. The tambrel is like our modern tambourine, without the little cymbals, just the drumhead part. Also, praise with strings and what we would call woodwinds.
Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe.
It also says to praise with dancing, which you don't see nearly as much as with music. Personally, I'm not much of a dancer, and even less of a dancer in public. One thing I saw that was odd is that nowhere in the entire Psalm does it say anything about singing. Is that supposed to be reserved for the Temple choir, and not to be done by the common man?
